got the status bar working using Hero's Latest CM7. I used its SystemUI and so far its all good. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] aldee_s:
The booting process in this ROM and the others is different, just look in /system/bin, there is no ramdisk file, instead there is boot.tar file, which contain recovery and ramdisk in one place, thats why xrecovery don't work, because when you flash xrecovery in FXP rom, the chargemon file is replaced, and the new chargemon file didn't load boot.tar file, instead loading ramdisk.tar, BUT, as you know, ramdisk.tar doesnt exist in /system/bin, thats why.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
thanks for your reports

i will soon upload new version

FXP023 released

let's bughunt
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Can someone test v023? And report? Whats new?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junixquiaoit:
Lets help each other by testing and reporting bugs guys.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
Just wanted to report that I am really suprised with battery life, I had 1% consumption over night (about 7 hours) and that's the record on my phone. Even with cm6 roms I always had about 4 - 10% consumption.

Bugs: In all roms, when I press midlle button it should bring me back to launcher (start page - wallpaper) but in FXP-023 that's not the case.

Second BUG is that right now I can't lock my Phone. Screen turns off but when I push middle button there is no lockscreen, it automatically opens launcher.

EDIT: Even after restart phone doesn't have lock screen. it was fine using it in first hour. don't know what happened now.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] aldee_s:
for the launcher problem, this rom is using ADW launcher, maybe the configuration is different, that is not a bug.

for the lockscreen problem, try to flash the google apps, then try it again
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
@aldee_s

I am not using ADW, removed it and installed launcher pro.

I didn't install gapps. I don't need any of those apps, but I will install it only to check is there any change with lockscreen.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] aldee_s:
hoo, really? then what comes out when you press the home key?

yes, that is the point, to check if the lockscreen problem persist
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
Nothing happend when I press middle buton. It can be really annoying cause Sometimes I have to push back button 6-7 times to close settings or apps.

Ohhh, I think I am going to reinstall this rom, Now there is a new problem after installing gaaps I went to accounts and sync and clicked to add new account/ Phone freezes for a few seconds, then open bootanimation and finaly I have a screen with thousands of dots.

I will give it once more try only because of battery life. :)

EDIT: After fresh install and full wipe lockscreen doesn't work, again. The only thing I changed is to set autobrightness according to alfasamsung's tutorial.

Definitelly, can't add google account, Phone freezes again and opens bootanimation.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
I don't have these problems
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
just a suggestion but could you focus more on finishing camera and radio instead of just bug fixes please? i really want to use this rom but the camera and radio are too important to me :( great progress though and i cant wait till its fully finished :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
Solved all problems I had.

After formatting sd card and fresh install rom and Gaaps (then full wipe and dalvik cache) Everything works fine. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] aldee_s:
@dragan

then i don't know about it, i just telling you what jerpelea said before.

@dmcb123

dude, if you want to use camera and radio just use the ROMs out there that is working. because this rom is intended for development, but users can use it freely, besides jerpelea already said that he will try to fix the camera, just be patient. fixing the little bugs is actually much easier than fixing the camera. without you telling him, he IS trying to fix the camera, appriciate the devs here
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
@aldee_s i am using another 2.3 rom i just cant wait till there is an x8 gb rom from source :) not trying to rush them. :) and i definitely do appreciate the devs cos without them i would have a piece of crap phone :P

1. New boot logo "Sony Ericsson" was replaced by FreeXperia logo. Cool

2. Camera still in VGA

3. Lag Problem can be fix by changing launcher ADW quite causes lag

4. Clockworld Recovery only

5. New image on Mod Version A cool painting instead of creepy zombie

6. Hotspot module

7. No screen CRT animation

8. Less snappy like GDX and GC

9. Reading on memry card is too slow.

As of now.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junixquiaoit:
Hi FXP, could you post Kernel Tweaks/Changelogs :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rikcon:
2-3 pages behind is changelog.

Fxp please include dualtouch modules in kernel. Can your kernel be used with other roms, or it will cause some problems?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
Also can we included dual recovery as well? I think I will be sticking with the ROM for a while as I cannot run xrecovery, coz clockworld rec is always appearing whether you click back button or touch the screen. I think to revert back u have to flash the stock rom again to replace loader and kernel.sin
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rikcon:
I think that Fxp kernel is tightly connected with Rom, they just don't need xrecovery so they won't include it in Rom. But its only my opinion. Somewhere I saw a converter from amend to edify script, we can install gdx with clockwork rec. But we need to convert Rom to it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 7OH:
What kernel must be shown in ABOUT ?

HotSpot started,but on connect on other device - disconnected. Some times even reboot android.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
Its 2.6.29-FXP SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nyan:
so hotspot is basically another word for wifi tehter, right?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lovex8:
+1, Can your kernel be used with other roms? such as stock rom or minicm7 ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nyan:
lovex8 your signature is wrong, its thanks not thinks

and yes i was wondering that as well?

this kernel is just an add on so basically it still has all the important goodies from the original kernel right?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
Well in my opinion it will not be possible to use this in other ROM coz almost of the modules was already in the kernel. The roms we had now is still holding its modules on system/lib/modules. It might be duplicated i guess. Just an opinion. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
you MUST flash new kernel

Sent from my R800i
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
OT

@Blagus Im waiting for your kernel :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
please be patient, it'll be ready today evening (gmt+1)

Sent from my R800i
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lovex8:
Thanks! Changed it. Is it right ?? :D:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] inooz:
so,if we want to change to another roms we must flash 1 package custom (kernel and rom) ??

can we backup original kernel after unlocking bootloader??

sorry i'm newbie here. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lovex8:
I don't know if this kernel work with other roms. If yes, there is no need to reflash the stock kernel.

You can get the stock kernel.sin from the stock tft files, such as 2.1.c.0.0.tft or A.0.0.6.tft. Flash it with loader.sin by flashtool.

But we must use the new loader.sin in the package of unlock tool. The stock SE loader.sin will not work after we unlock the bootloader.

I'm sorry if it has some mistakes:p. I'm new here too.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Galon123:
waiting for your kernel sir..is it working for any ROMs?stock maybe?:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 7OH:
Was - GDX_13.

Boot

Kernel

FXP_24 - it couldnot see my ext3 partition.

Back to GDX_13 by CWM - get error "cannot format sd-ext"

And now i cannot access my ext3.

Who and what can say ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mohit_ramani:
The sound for music player is too loud. I think the sound library needs to be reconfigured to adjust with our phone's speakers.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nyan:
so i tried this rom,and now i want to revert to my old rom, where is the kernel i need to flash?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wojtst:
Rom seems to be running pretty well but,

-there's a lack of performance, some lag, isn't so smooth,

-reading from memory card is slow,

-CRT screen animations doesn't work,

-fake dual touch is not implemented in rom,

-live wallpapers does not work,

-fps cap limit,

Cheers
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
Oh i forgot to include "patiently" Yes Im waiting patiently :)

To all who wants to revert back follow these process;

1. Flash stock rom using flashtool.

2. Reroot your phone.

3. Instal Xrecovery

4. Done
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
what firmware content i need to select in flashtool? loader.sin or kernel.sin or or this two?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
You don't select anything. It is simply a list of all the things the firmware contains. U will see that if u click something in firmware content and then click flash it will flash everything listed under firmware content.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timk1764:
Erm have you even tried it? Its not a su app so it wont let you make/edit/delete anything on the phones internal partition..... Unless im missing something?

I used terminal-emulator and its working, for anyone wanting to fix the install problem, open terminal type su hit enter then tap allow then type cd /data hit enter then type mkdir dalvik-cache hit enter then reboot and apps should now istall :D

I just integrated root explorer to update.zip before flash and then created folder:D

and I think we can others apps integrate;) without installing after flash:)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
Did you test that with fps2d?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 7OH:
Some thinks after flashing from GDX_13 (in 1-3 post written that flash possible from this rom).

So.

After trying FXP decide restore to GDX- why ?

-Maybe next time i've comment lines, which format my sd-ext with all apps (like asserts for device name).

-hotspot often disconnect clients.

In restore was problems:

GDX has CWM_3 - format sd-ext as EXT3 - but write in final phase "E:cannot mount /sdcard".

FXP has CWM_4 - format sd-ext as EXT2. Only after formatting EXT at PC as EXT4 i can restore CWM3 backup through CMW4.

Little difficult.

As result - left FXP loader and GDX rom - waiting for fixes.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
Yes i did!

How can I install ax8mt on this one? I tried and insmod and pushing ax8mt.ko in system/lib/modules but doesnt work.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] elderduke:
Exactly what I was saying previously.

One other way is , if there is dx's gesture installed, to rename the ax8mt.ko module to that, but that is not available also. x8toolbox against this rom does not function as well....so what is the easiest way? I think we just have to ask FXP to enable it....:(
